just saw the vehicle at rock center. it's exactly what was posted at the beginning of this thread. it also has a prototype dana rear and coil over struts up front. NO TORSION BARS. the oil pan was very out in the open in front of the forward crossmember. easily prone for damage, but a skid plate could cover it. i haven't had time to read this whole thread so i'm sorry if this has been discussed already. brent and a few other took plenty of pictures. brent is on his way to a kinkos to upload them soon. they had the truck on this make shift rock hill in front of the today show with some camping gear set up.

they wouldn't open it up for us or look under the hood so we couldn't find where the alternator was located. but there are some pictures of the engine in the new booklet of the vehicle. it looked like a cross between a titan, liberty and xterra and yes there is a step built into the rear corner pieces. the tires were 265/75/16(32x10.5) with front and rear disk brakes.
